2024 Certified Arborist Exam Prep & Tree Care Workshop

The Arkansas Urban Forestry Council wants to help increase the number of ISA Certified Arborists in our area, and one of the steps to becoming a Certified Arborist is to pass the ISA Certification Exam. This workshop covers some of the exam topics considered to be most difficult and will help you to prepare to take the exam. Workshop topics include Safe Work Practices, Tree Biology, Tree ID, Soil Science and Management, Pruning, Diagnosis and Plant Disorders, and Tree Risk Assessment. The exam will be given after the workshop, but registering for the exam is optional.

Registration fee for the workshop is $45 for AUFC members and $60 for non-members. Registration deadline for the workshop is August 14, 2024.
